Hathras case: Tussle between IAS and IPS, this is the displeasure of IPS officials

Lucknow, 4 October 2020, Sunday

The Hathras rape case has sparked a tussle between the BJP and opposition parties on the one hand and IPS and IAS officers on the other.

SP Vikrant Veer has been suspended after the Hathras incident but the government has not taken any action against Collector Praveen Kumar, even at a time when the girl's family members had leveled serious allegations against the collector. Is.

However, the IPS officers of UP are annoyed that no action has been taken against them. They feel that IPS officers are being made scapegoats.

The WhatsApp group of IPS officers has been showing resentment after the government suspended the SP of Hathras. A meeting of the IPS Association has also been called on the issue.

"The easiest way is to suspend the SP whenever there is a riot," a district SP wrote in a group. Another official posted that eight police personnel have been suspended so far.

"Our seniors have orphaned us. There is no one to take our word for it. The IAS lobby saves its own people and the police are the victims." Becomes a goat.

In the Yogi government, 14 IPS officers have been suspended in the last three years. It seems that the resentment of the IPS lobby will not abate unless the government takes action against the Hathras collector.
